Choosing a page layout for scrolling ease

Acrobat Reader has three page layout options: Single Page, Continuous, and Continuous-
Facing Pages. Continuous and Continuous- Facing Pages facilitate page scrolling so that you
can see the bottom of one page and the top of another.
Single Page layout displays one page in the document window at a time.
Continuous layout arranges the pages in a continuous vertical column.
Continuous-Facing Pages layout arranges the pages to appear side by side. This
conguration accommodates two-page spread display and multiple-page viewing in the
viewer window. If the total page count of a document is greater than two pages, the rst
page is displayed on the right to ensure proper display of two-page spreads. To see two-
page spreads most efciently in this page layout, choose View > Fit Width.

Magnifying the page view
You can use the zoom tool, the magnication box in the status bar, or the Actual Size, Fit Page
and Fit Width toolbar buttons to change the screen magnication. The maximum magnication
level is 800%. The minimum magnication level is 12%. If you zoom in on a large document,
use the hand tool to move the page around onscreen. Moving a document with the hand tool
is like moving a piece of paper around on a desk with your hand.
Acrobat Reader also offers magnication level choices that are not related to a specic per-
centage, but to the look of the page on-screen:
Fit Page scales the page to t within the main window.
Fit Width scales the page to t the width of the main window.
Fit Visible lls the window with pages imaged area only (text and graphics).
When you select any of the Fit options, the magnication level resulting from the selection is
displayed in the status bar. The Fit options (Fit Page, Fit Width and Fit Visible) are in a sticky
state, which means they dont change as you page through a document unless you change
the zoom level.

Choose one of the following:
Select the zoom tool and click on the document page to double the current
magnication.
Select the zoom tool and drag to draw a rectangle, called a marquee, around the area
you want to magnify.
Click the magnication box in the status bar and choose a magnication level. If you
choose Zoom To, type in the magnication level and click OK.
To decrease magnication:
